Gerry O’ Connor’s priorities include …

Community Representation

Dunshaughlin needs an active advocate, who understands the issues facing voluntary groups, businesses and residents.
Gerry will listen empathically and respond decisively to provide better planning and services.

Planning

Community-led planning and enforcement, not developer-led speculatively driven planning.

Education and Arts

Provide support for leisure, arts and culture activities in Dunshaughlin, Coole, Culmullen, Kilmessan and Dunsany.
Fast-track the provision of school facilities, whether class-rooms, gyms or sporting equipment.

Agriculture

Campaign for rapid payments of the FWMS grants to which the government had already committed and which will bolster Ireland’s reputation as a pollution-free country.

Community Cohesion

Increase police presence through community Gardai and develop neighbourhood watch scheme.
Provide alternative activities and facilities for the 13 – 16 year olds, including community parks and skateboarding areas.
